>>The idea here is to use the ecs module more when enabled not less. The
rrset cache is shared between the ecs module and normal unbound. So asking
the rrset cache if the authority supports ecs before querying the authority
does not touch the ecs module. The penalty you would take with this
approach is if the authority is not yet in the rrset cache you would have
to ask it if it supports ecs. But again, so long as it is documented
anyone enabling ecs should know there will be a small penalty.
